Are the snowfields open yet in March? :snidegrin
I think the cheese platters kicked just 2 points in the last 1.5 qtrs too they were that bad. So much for the media pumping them up as premiership fancies :lol.
-
What a first round of upsets. We're the only favourite to have won their match so far. Good for us but it sure has stuffed up my footy tipping though :P.
-
Norf ;D.
-
How absolutely stuffing perfect this weekend could've been if wasn't for bloody Rance.... >:(
-
Norf ;D.
Brad Scott working beautifully at Norf. Good to see him keeping up the standards at that club.Another great season ahead of the northerners ... missing the eight ... its good to see.

Blamed Ed Vickery-Willis (who!!??) going down for the loss too... :lol
-
Brad Scott would've made a good Richmond coach back in the bad old days such is his abilty to destroy talent.....I rated Wood as arguably the most promising young forward a couple of years ago....now he plays like a shorter version of Todd Elton while McDonald now plays like a shorter McGoof...and Jye Simpkin must surely be wishing the academy rules kicked in a year earlier .... :shh

Sainter! :clapping
0 -2 for the back-to-back "trade week premiers"... :shh

So have Melbourne gone passed us yet? :shh

If there’s one thing that cheers me up more than anything else it’s The bummers losing. But when they lose to the Saints - custard on top.
Blues pushing Port over there was fun. Although I think the Scum might have turned a corner which means we can’t revel in their insipidity any more...
-
Norf 0-3 :lol.
Brad Scott won't survive past midseason at this rate. Hard to see them being any better than 1-7 after 8 rounds given their draw. It's not just that Norf are losing but their "gameplan" as well. You're not going to win too many games chipping the ball back and across the backline.
ps. Well done to Milesy and the Suns. A bottom side showing wins are possible irrespective of the supposed talent if all 22 work hard for each other. Something a few out of form Tigers need to remember and get back to.
-
Imagine after finishing second last peaking at 9th the next season and then thinking your just a few key players off being actually competitive. Almost as funny to watch as Essington. :wallywink

That bit in bold is the funniest thing. They actually thought they were close to a flag lol and topped up throwing $$$ at mature flankers from other clubs. Brad Scott is the new Spud.
-
Brisbane certainly hasn't turned up today. 50 pts down to Essendon at half-time.
As for last night's game, the umps sure love the Pies ::). Non-goal paid against the Dogs, paying Cox a mark in front of goal which came off a Dogs defender's hands in front, Pies throws allowed as handballs, etc.
-
GWS just knocked off Geelong down at the Cattery and without Ward who is another who has done their ACL this year.
So there's no more undefeated teams.

59 consecutive games failing to score greater than 100 points...... :clapping
Have won just 3 from their last 36 - worse than Neeld at Melbourne...... :clapping
-
Just realised they traded this year's frst pick to Adelaide...though the way the Crows are going it could still be a top 5 pick... :shh
-
The funniest thing is Carlton's team on the weekend was a whole year per player older than ours. They've also got 7 players 28+ so they will lose as many key players as they could potentially gain in the next few years. If they remain a bottom a side then top sides will start targeting and poaching the Blues' top youngsters looking for team success.

Brad Scott has done a Spud Frawley 2002.
After topping up with mature offcuts from other clubs, if North don't make the finals then there will be one less brother as senior coach in the AFL.

Difference being we made a prelim the season before; so you can almost.....almost...... rationalise bringing in Sziller and co.
9th place finishes can often be misleading. Don't we know it :cheers
-
I hate Essendon but Dimma and co. should study what they did and how they set up at stoppages after half-time to disrupt Collingwood from chipping it around and maintaining possession which worked in the first half. It would be useful to us as we haven't been able to counter the Pies gameplan in our last two meetings.
-
Well Pittard played his best game for Port. Too bad for Brad Scott that Norf traded for him over the summer :wallywink.
Norf and the Dees are now bottom 2 :lol.
-

Feel like the Dees might be having a Tiges 2016 type year at the moment, write em off for not but they'll be back next year.
Feel like North are having a Tiges 2002 year. Got well ahead of themselves and recruited Sziller/Pittard types with thoughts of reaching prelim finals. Only another 15 years before they'll do anything meaningful.....
-
Port's second quarter and the first half of the third demonstrated that with some minor adjustments we should still have the pressure game to smash the Colliwobbles - and unlike Port, be able to sustain it for a full match, at an even higher level..... and if we halt their fast starts they won't keep up.. :shh
-
Carlton can pump the Dogs (nb to RFC MC: key talls are important to team structure ::) ) yet they got thrashed by Norf who could hardly score before today. Welcome to tipping in season 2019 :help.

#lolbummmers :shh
-
What a great win by the swans
I enjoyed that
-
Yeah, I'll admitt that part of me enjoyed the Bummers getting done over in the dying minutes, but can anybody tell me why Rampe was allowed to shake the goal post by climbing it without being penalized? Its actually a very specific law of the game, specifically detailed in the rule book about shaking the post during a shot on goal, yet the controlling umpire (who was yelling at Rampe to "Get down") decided not to enforce the rule!
He saw Rampe climbing the post & yelled at him, but then decided not to enforce the rule ... how so?
Why bother having having a rule book if an individual umpire can choose to ignore a clear breach of the rules? It wasn't common sense umpiring to not intervene, it was a clear choice to ignore a rule being broken!
If it had happened to us we would release the hounds ....
Apart from being overjoyed at watching the Bummers players pleading their case to the umpire only to be ignored, its the game I worry about at times like this. Cue the conspiracy theories .... :santa
-
Another Collingwood game and another day of umpire charity ::). 11 frees to the Pies compared to Carlton's 2 and it's only the start of the 2nd quarter.
Weren't the Bombers premiership contenders only 2 weeks ago according to Robbo and co. :lol.
Rampe's post-climbing should have been a free but Essendon didn't deserve to win that game so they've only got themselves to blame :yep.

That goal awarded to Crisp that swung the match was a disgrace .....dodgy 50, then a blatant free kick not awarded to Carlton for holding and to top it off an obvious touched ball by Elliot..."soft review" after every goal my arse..... :shh
-
Add Collingwood getting a goal earlier in the game when Treloar should have pinged for holding the ball.
If there was a stat for umpire assisted goals (frees paid to & frees not paid against) then Collingwood would a clear clubhouse leader.

24 free kicks to 8, lowest tally since our round 2 match with the scumbags (24-9)

Yeah, I watched it too. Wow, awesome mark ... Mark Of the Year stuff. Watching Gawn getting kicked in the face was ... well ... payback for all those Google ads! Watching Melbourne getting their little hearts ripped out was ... well ... how could I NOT enjoy that? :lol

You apparently don't need to bounce the ball if you're wearing a Pies jumper.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting sick of the clear bias the pies get in almost every game???

Maybe it's going to be a weekend for upsets. Freo have come from behind to be 2 goals up on the Pies at the 'G midway through the third quarter.

Freeee-o way to go!!! :clapping

Let's see if tomahawk gets done for that elbow
If they are consistent which they aren't then that's a week too
We will soon find out how much we are hated if he gets off and vloss cops a week

Choke of the season goes to the Dees :surrender :biglaugh
-
The way the Saints are going today against the Suns, we'll be facing another side after they've sacked their coach.
-
Have to say I really enjoyed WB vs Blues
-
Hawthorn's era is over big time. Still carrying a number of oldies well past their best that will retire at the end of this year and little top talented youth coming through to replace them.
-
Now Geelong decide to lose.... >:(
-

Can’t win after a bye. Hopefully we get them in the first week of the finals again ;)
-
If we have to rely on every other side around us falling over for us to make the finals then we aren't going to make it. There's always going to be upsets. Aside from Port winning, the results this weekend weren't too bad for us with Freo losing to Melbourne and the Bombers being shown up as pretenders once again. Our low % means we're going to have to win one more game than either Port, Brisbane or Freo over the final 9 rounds.
-
Middle-aged men iin footy jumpers banging on the fence - only in Geelong.... :shh
-
It was always an 'experience' going to Kardinia Park surrounded by their ferals back in the 80s/90s :help. All that was missing were the banjos and the canoe trip down the Barwon.
I did love on the coverage last night them still whinging about having to play us at the 'G in the 2017 Qualifying Final and that it could happen again this year.
Anyway, last night's result was good for us in one way. If we can start to turnaround our season tomorrow then we draw level on wins with Adelaide.
-
If the Doggies can hold on from here then that opens the door for us to jump back into the Eight tomorrow :pray.
-
We have to win first MT
-
Good work dogs
-

Absolutely, CT. I'm definitely not counting our chickens in what is a danger game. Just saying the opportunity is now there. The comp. is so even and the middle of the ladder has tightened up from 4th/5th down to 14th. Sides like the Swans, Dogs and even Scott-less North now are back in the hunt.
-
As much as it made me sick, Scumbaggers knocking off Shockers was a good result for us.... :shh

Given that Carlton are irrelevant I really enjoyed that for them.
Helped us, embarrassed Lyon, and I enjoyed watching the kids play with mental freedom for a change. Bolton failed terribly which is clear now...
-
I'd prefer GC to finish last - reckon we could do a trade with them for pick one, whereas Adelaide who have Carlton's pick, will likely use it to get Grundy. :shh

Despite Collingwoods 19th man, the timekeeper, Hawks beat em.

Brilliant.

i still cant believe Mason Cox tore us a new one in that final. :banghead :banghead
i saw impy out mark him tonight
-
People saying we need a 200+ cm KPD or that we should put Chol on him next time...maybe we all we need to do is put Bolton or Stack on him instead... :shh
-
Other teams always try and find an extra gear when playing us. Cox had one of those nights in the prelim. Naughton had a field day on our short defence also but hopefully Chol’s game wasn’t a flash in the pan and he can give us good cover for Rance ‘s possible return...... :shh
-
'ken Bummers on a roll... :thumbsdown
-
Looks like it'll be two wins for the chasing pack.... :thumbsdown
-
With us playing GWS, Port & Collingwood next up and our remaining games all at the 'G, the results so far this round have opened up the top 4 for us if we're good enough :thumbsup.
-
Counting chooks....more worried about the teams up our backside than the one's above us atm...... :shh
-
if lions knock gws off we will be playing off for 4th spot next week, with the lions against port over there. :thumbsup

Cox finding form just in time for us... >:(
-
Eagles were shyte last night. Should have lost by 5 goals.
-
Essendon - R. Chamberlain 3 votes >:(
-
Can’t tell if Brisbane are legit or Port were complete shyte. Leaning more towards the former rather than latter.
Port playing dog shyte this week means they’ll be right up and about for next week....
-
Essendon set to win another tinny game; enough to make you vomit.
-
The Bombers have had some lucky close wins this year. The Crows kept them in the game in the first half with their poor goalkicking. It should have been game over. Tex often trying to be the hero taking shots outside 50 and failing everytime. The Adelaide media will be after Pyke again.
-
The Giants are pumping the Pies and it's not even quarter time yet. 8.2-50 to 1.1-7 :lol.
GWS's marking forwards are too big for the Pies defenders. Lynch and Jack will be licking their lips next week if we can give them some decent supply.
-
if that stuffin cox puts in a blinder next week against us il fair dinkum spew
he is bloody average
-
Yep - and another reason you don't drop Chol like some are suggesting... :shh
-
Stevic should be dropped for paying that free - worst umpire of the last decade after Look At Me Ray... :shh
-
Nothing made sense. They never pay frees in those moments anyway. But to pay that crap. What a joke.

More sooking about the MCG coming up from Snotty Scotty this week... already came out on to the field and had a go at the umps at the 3/4 time break ,,,,,won't get done over it of course while SHocking and his media mouthpiece Wimpley have his back... :shh
-
The moment he took the whinge public is the moment they made themselves appear very vulnerable.
As much as you’d agree, you’d be pretty peeed off if Dimma starting publicly stating he was upset we had to play Geelong in Geelong or something similar.
-
Geelong = reaping what they sew. Make an issue about something it usually becomes an issue
Dougey is correct. They now appear vulnerable at the MCG and it's all of there own making
This makes me very happy :rollin

S.Kilda ensuring the old “sack the coach” adage is maintained.

The AFL has conceded the ruck free kick paid to Ben Brown with six minutes remaining in Brisbane’s win over North Melbourne on Saturday night was also incorrect.

Crows look shot but Carlton aren't pushovers these days and won't be in two weeks... they were never a pushover for us when they were pushovers... :shh

Damn, a Port win would have been very handy... :banghead

Ugh. Of course the cheats win with another tinny performance/gift from the umps...
-
The cheats were robbed time and again by the umps
Gold Coast were gifted a heap of decisions but sadly couldn’t get over the line

There certainly were some absoulte shockers favouring Gold Coast...but geez there were also a helluva lot of Bulldogs 2016-style "slick handpassing" from Essendon going unnoticed...... :shh
-
stuffin GWS again
pooting me those pricks
-
Lucky again. If the Swans had pinched it, it would've made a perfect result day so far for us.
The Bombers received a 10-goal reality check and Geelong just lost to the Dockers :rollin.
Expect another week of Chris Scott sooking about playing away from Kardinia Park :sleep.

They have Dees next week the crows at AO then bombres.
If somehow they manages to win all 3 and we drop just 1 they take our spot with %
Will be interesting to see what happens

All the more reasons why our games vs WCE + Bris are more important.
At the end of the day if we can't match it with them at the MCG then what does it matter anyway? We're either worthy of the flag or not and we will get a nice little litmus test in the final rounds :)

I thought he was already 'out' haha. Now it's just formal!

It's only the 2nd quarter but the Hawks are 4 goals up on the Giants in shocking weather. Good for us if it stays that way.

Clarkson has probably saved our bacon
In terms of a top 4 finish.
-
don't really see how it's saving us at all. it's all on us to finish top 4. sure this makes it easier but if we're good enough to finish top 4, we will. no other side is relevant to that.
-
Thanks Hawks.
Now we need to come out switched on (unlike GWS tonight) and win to take advantage of the Giants being afraid of snow.
-
don't really see how it's saving us at all. it's all on us to finish top 4. sure this makes it easier but if we're good enough to finish top 4, we will. no other side is relevant to that.
Because now we can drop 1 game and it wont cause damage to our top 4 chances. We just have to make sure we beat Carlton tomorrow.
-
Not quite. We drop one and Collingwood win all 3 their higher percentage will dislodge us to 5th
-
They have to play Adelaide and Essendon. I think theyll drop at least 1 if not both of those games.
-
Back to back charity wins against the bottom two sides for the Pies ::). Only a few junk time goals to Melbourne stopped them from gaining any % boost. So we need to win tomorrow to get back into the top 4.

Then North kick the lowest score in their history :lol.
Seriously though, all 6 games so far have been very one-sided. The side that has won the contested footy in the cold wet conditions has dominated each game. We need to do the same. Our 2nd tiers have to step up in Cotch and Dusty's absence.

there would no reason he would go to a basketcase like the druggos unless he knew an opening could soon be on the cards
just my opinion.

According to Footy Classified, Rutten is expected to take over if the Bombers lose both their final games and sack Worsfold for missing the finals.

I'll post in the other thread but bigger me what a crap day.
That win over the pies were we should've smashed by 12 goals has come back to bite us as we took the pedal off too early.
We just have to win both now for double chance otherwise we'll cop a bulldogs type bogey team
-
No one to blame but ourselves
Let's see.
If we end up 5th it's a tough road having to play possibly doggies then most definitely pies or cats followed by a prelim interstate
-
Scraggers looking as good as anyone in the comp atm....more confident playing them at the G than Spideydome but would still rather avoid... :shh
-
Sidearse out, which is good for the Bumblers and therefore good for us... :shh
-
Heppell, Stringer and Fantasia not playing against the Pies. Essendon possibly resting players with nothing to play for according to Ch 7. If true, it shows we can't rely on anyone else. We just need to win ourselves to seal a top 4 spot.
-
Yep
im guessing they think they have a better chance of beating us or the pies then flying to nsw to face the giants in an EF.
smug pricks they are
another free kick to the pies too.

Hooker now out.

good game. I see dons adopting the handball game.
Dan Richo the pretender and his copying antics again :shh

How about the clear push in the back to Francis not paid. :banghead
Anyone know if grimes trained this week? Someone here usually reports from training
I feel he misses
-
Essendon were rubbish.
If I didn't know better I'd have thought they were throwing the game...
-
Well the Bombers left out Heppell, Stringer, Hooker & Fantasia. Not a sign of a club wanting to win that game ::).
After quarter time, Collingwood were able to shut down Essendon's rebound off half-back and scoring.
Robbed all night they were.
How about the clear push in the back to Francis not paid. :banghead
Add Treloar's throw "handballs" ::).
It's the inconsistency. If they let it go for both sides then fair enough. However, Collingwood receive umpire charity virtually every week.
-
Geelong thumping the Blues. So if we can win tomorrow then we'll most likely be playing them in a QF.
-
Not a great result if hawks get up IMO.
Lose and we drop to 5th
Win and we head up to the Gabba for the lions. Our record is great up there but that was the lions of old.
-
If the Hawks keep this up, we'll be playing Brisbane again (but at the Gabba) if we beat the Lions tomorrow.
Edit: Beat me to it, Franky.
Also if the Hawks win, I wonder if Chris Scott will spend the next fortnight whinging about playing the Pies at the 'G in a Qualifying Final like he has for the past two months about the possibility of playing us ::). He seems to only go on a sook about this when it's about Richmond because of what happened in 2017 :nopity.

The one positive is if we get to a Prelim either way it will be at the 'G.
Beat Brisbane at the Gabba -> Automatic home Prelim at the 'G.
Lose -> Semi-Final at the 'G -> Prelim at the 'G vs winner of Geel/Coll.

Gold Coast's crapness robs Diver Brown of the Coleman two years running.#lolnorf :clapping

True but that will most likely be a semi against dogs then another Melbourne team in a prelim
Rather eagles win and we play off for a prelim against the cats should we beat cats
Eagles are playing rubbish can't see them winning at this stage
-
Cheer more Hawk goals now and hope West Coast doesn't score anymore. Eagle % is now almost equal with us.

That's true. The loser of the 2nd vs 3rd QF plays the winner of the 6th vs 7th EF. If the Dogs win tomorrow then they'll finish 7th and play the Giants away. So we could most likely play the Dogs in a SF :-\.

The usual week 1 of finals Essendon flogging and elimination :lol.
Please just stop making finals, JUSY **** STOP!!
That’s it for 2019 for me. Seen enough.
Have a good Christmas all!
gonna forgo the membership next year and just load up on maccas monopoly.
Essendon Football Club:
Making up the numbers since 2004
And proud of it.
SUPPORTERS OF ALL 17 OTHER CLUBS ARE SITTING BACK AND ■■■■■■■ THEMSELVES LAUGHING AT OUR PATHETIC FOOTBALL CLUB

:yep :rollin

Stringer going for worst performance ever in a final tonight.
-
It was a blow out in the making. The eagles showed they were a top 4 side for most of the year. The bombers barely scraped into the 8. But hey, It’s their injuries that’s why they suck right?
-
Essendon's so called "big game" players - Stringer, Shiel, Fantasia, etc have had mares. Exposed under finals pressure.
What's the joke going around:
"I love finals time. You get to see all the best teams play ...
and Essendon."
;D
-
In a weird way, Their club is full of highlight reel players that do flashy things but they don’t have any hard but blue collar types. They need a Selwood or a Chapman (in his prime) or a hodge desperately. But until then I will enjoy their meltdowns
-
Bomberblitz is fun reading these days. Reminds me of us in here years ago lol.

Look at the character of the players they have brought in.
Shiels - quick turn of pace but very messy. Cotchin goes harder for the ball and he decides to whinge about it. Soft in the head.
Saad - downhill skier
Is there a bigger piece of poo in the league than Jake Stringer?
-
Whinging about playing at the 'G has really paid off so far, eh Scotty!
Geelong playing like they are psyched out by the big ground once again. Timid and in disarray.
-
If geelong had any brains they'd sack him and get another coach.
-
Replace Chris with Brad :shh

Chris Scott should concentrate on his snail paced gameplan that gets ripped to shreds in finals as well as not guessing the weather forecast before he sooks about playing at the 'G. Off the top of my head he's only coached 3 wins from their 13 finals since 2012. Scott also let Sidebottom run around and do what he pleased which Dimma learnt the hard way not to do last year.
I never thought I'd see the day when Ablett would be daylight worst on ground in a final. Fumbled and coughed up the ball every time he went near it which wasn't too often. A player with a lesser reputation would be dropped based on that performance alone.
As for the Pies, the dominated the game yet won by only 10 points kicking 9 goals to 7. They look dangerous if their small/mid-sized forwards are feed ball in space but once Geelong tightened up their team defence, the Pies struggled to score without a big key forward as an long 'out' contest. I know we lost to the Pies badly last year in the Prelim, but I don't see us fearing either side if we ended up playing them (hopefully not famous last words touchwood). Both sides copped injuries too. Dusty's tagger Greenwood has done an ACL apparently while there's question marks over DeGoey's hammy.
For the Cats, Mitch Duncan has done a medial.
-
GWS vs Dogs has been the best of the 3 finals so far. Giants should be further in front but their mental fragility has kept the Dogs in it.
Ch 7 just said DeGoey will miss the PF as he has reinjured the same hammy and it will be a risk playing him in the GF if they get that far. A big loss for the Pies.
-
Well there goes the Doggies. Worse for them is Naughton injuring his knee. You don't want any player copping a long term injury especially if it turns out an ACL. Just adds to a year of serious injuries to key players :P.
So the path for us to a Grand Final is at the 'G and we'll either play Geel or WCE in a Prelim if we win tonight or GWS in a Semi if we lose followed by the Pies in a Prelim.
-
Gotta feel for the Dogs. The were super exciting I’m how they turned their season around. Reminded me of when we won 9 in a row only to be out of petrol tickets for an EF on the road

Off to Germany to see some a grade surgeon who performs hamstring miracles.
I hope asada are waiting for him at the door step when he arrives

Grimesy went to the same bloke a few years ago

Whispers from our experts, a Geelong star could be a late-out tonight with rib damage.
No confirmation on who at this stage but we do believe Danger copped a hit to ribs against Pies but he didn't seem affected in the immediate aftermath.
Meanwhile, Tim Kelly hasn't trained this week because, according to Chris Scott, he has a "sniffle"
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/afl-daily-live-rolling-footy-news-from-around-australia-for-friday-september-13-2019/live-coverage/bd5743a81b49a3d29ee1edd02c3912cd
If this rumour is true and Dangerfield is out and Kelly isn't 100% then Geelong is stuffed.
-
This Brisbane-GWS final is one crazy game of footy. Massive momentum swings depending on who is winning the clearances. Defending is an after-thought.
-
Rayzor & Stevic dream team at their best tonight... :shh
-
Toby Greene rubbed out for week by the MRO.

hahaha the grub
he was the difference vs lions too

Gawd I hope we don't get Rayzor on Friday night :help. The best umpires for finals are those who put the whistle away and you don't notice at all.
-
hahaha the grub
he was the difference vs lions too
after each time.
i dont mind him.
i prefer him that say a hawkins who is more of a thug but then has the balls to apologise each time.
FO
Pies will get a massive free kick here. With Coniglio set to play and confidence sky high i would be tipping GWS, but not without greene.
-
Toby Greene lost his challenge at the tribunal.
https://twitter.com/AFLcomau/status/1173890820690173952
No Coniglio returning either.
A Prelim gift for the Pies.

Who is on the tribunal panel?
This guy that's who

Whitfield out for the Giants.

No Greene, no Coniglio and now no Whitfield. Pies being gifted a Grand Final spot.
-
The prospect of a first GF in 26 years featuring two "Big 4" clubs or a GWS flag, the AFL must be torn.... :shh
-
I'd be happy with a repeat of 1980 just quietly ;D.
-
Great to see Stephen Jurica sitting the tribunal. Made a real success of his life being a barrister. Richmond people always seem to land on their feet. :clapping
-
Absolute filth getting everything today, feel like vomiting
-
Happy if it stays even like this in the second half. A tough tiring slog in the wet for both sides.
-
Damn straight, they need to find some non Collingwood umpires ffs, it is really embarrassing. I am not invested either way but gee...keep it fair.
-
Pies have stopped. GWS all over them.
Treloar too busy diving for frees because he can't get the footy.
-
Pies have given up...that last goal they got shafted by the umpy paying a dropped mark as a mark lol.
-
Premiership quarter and the pies have poo'd the bed.
Is Davis injured for real or not really?
-
did not see them rolling over this easy...Trelol has been notably useless and ineffective. That smart arse tussle of Cotchin's hair will haunt his underwhelming career in his superior list.
-
Collingwood just under 5 goals behind in the wet and have only kicked 3 goals in 3 quarters. The Giants would have to choke big time for the Pies to win from here.
Treloar having a mare lol.
Is Davis injured for real or not really?
Davis told Richo he's done something to his lower leg where he can't sprint. He can only jog. That's why he's playing forward so it doesn't affect the Giants' rotations.
-
watchout the umpies are pulling the colliewobble whistles out...
-
ARC now gifting Pie points goals ::).
-
choketastic
-
So close Pies :rollin.
Colliwobbles are backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Happy with the down to the wire tiring game whoever ended up winning.
-
Giants it is.
And if they play like that we will fist them!

BAHAHA poor bastards. Giants look like they took a battering though, few of them looked like walking wounded at the end of that. Magpies looked dangerous when the rain stopped but absolute garbage when it was raining.
-
What a wonderful weekend

What a wonderful weekend
Absolutely :thumbsup.

Geelong's premiership window isn't the only one that has shut. I reckon the Pies have now missed their chance. Grundy looks like he's off to Adelaide which will be a huge loss, Pendlebury and Sidebottom will another year older and slower, and their mature top ups haven't been good enough to deliver the ultimate prize. DeGoey, Moore and Stephenson (had a shocker today) are quality and still young but the rest are just triers similar to their Hafey years of near misses. They also lack a quality key forward or two. Lynch choosing us over them has pushed us into a Granny and kept the Pies out.
-
Cameron out of contract at the end of next season. Rekn both Geelong and the pies will be right into him as well as a number of vic clubs.
